Getting started

Symbol Library
You can rearrange the symbol library to suit your needs. Change the organization of the groups of symbols depending on what drawings you draw. Split, merge and delete groups of symbols in the library.
Sample drawings
Have a look at the sample drawings in the Documents panel to get an idea about the abilities of the software.
Program controls and keyboard shortcuts
Learn the keyboard shortcuts (at least the most important ones) and the how to control the program.
Hardware Requirements
- Make sure enough disk space is available.
- We do not recommend monitors with higher resolution because they display excessively small text.
Software Requirements
- Windows 11 or later is required
- Ensure that all Windows updates are installed.
- It is not recommended to install any antivirus programs other than Windows Defender, as they may cause the program to malfunction.
Haven’t upgraded all company computers to Windows 11 yet? No problem – ProfiCAD version 13 uses the same file format as version 12, so you can use both versions depending on the operating system without any issues.
